The Mystery of Juan Largo's Gold, by Leonard Espinosa

A children's book, 24 pages in length with illustrations, that tells a story of New Almaden during the mining years of the late 1800s. Printed in both English and Spanish, the story evolved from the author's oral interviews with his grandmother Isabel Acevedo Espinosa. Mrs. Espinosa was born in New Almaden, California, and lived many of her childhood and adult years in this mining community near San Jose. The book is 8"x8" in size, and is illustrated by one of Isabel's sons, Louis Espinosa.
